book revew: How to Knit

How to Knit is an excellent guide to anyone that has the desire to learn how to knit. The author takes the reader through each section of this book with ease, almost like she is sitting there talking with the reader. Items discussed include different types of needle, fibers and weight of yarns, plus the importance of gauge.
She also shows the knitter how to read a pattern, both the written word and a graph. Then she present easy patterns, for the knitter, where each of the sections are put to use. These patterns can be used for scarves or wash clothes.
I wish that I had this book when I was learning how to knit over 40 years ago. The process, including the mistakes, would have been easier to bear.
